What to do when you are surrounded by sickly pretty girls?

"Since Senior Sister can leave, why can't I leave?"

"How do you know my way home?"

Tianxue opened her eyes wide.

"Hehe...I don't know."

Masaki Tsurugi leaned forward and slowly lay in her arms:

"In fact, I have followed a senior sister after school before...but I always lost her halfway;"

"If I hadn't seen the senior's disguise process with my own eyes today, I would have failed this time as well."

"You, you look a bit like a stalker, don't you?"

After hearing her words, Tianxue didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Maybe I really am a stalker...senpai."

Masaki Tsurugi lay on top of her, his face buried deep in her chest, a strange smile on his lips.

Volume 1: Chapter 21 Do you live in a place like this?

"Ahahaha...you really know how to joke."

Tianxue laughed dryly.

Although I smiled, I couldn't help but recall the day I met Masaki Tsurugi:

"Senior, you must be very busy. I see you rush home after school every day..."

She didn't think much about this sentence at the time.

I thought it was just excessive self-awareness: After all, how could such a beautiful and lovely girl pay attention to me every day?

I guess I just saw it occasionally during training.

But now thinking about it again...

"Senior, are you still going to chase me away now?"

Masaki Tsurugi raised her head from her arms and asked eagerly:

"I've already come here..."

"Ah! Never mind! Just follow me."

Seeing that pitiful face, Tianxue finally softened her heart.

——Stalker?

Who would think that such a sweet and cute child is a stalker?

Even if the other party is really a stalker, she will admit it!

They took Masaki Tsurugi to a secluded corner, and when they came out, the latter had turned into a girl in men's clothing.

Tianxue's current height is around 162-163, while Masaki Tsurugi's is around 155. After putting on the men's clothing that was tailored for Tianxue, it felt a little too big.

However, because it was night, Tsurugi's breast shape was not exposed, so there didn't seem to be any flaws after she put on the COS military cap.

"Listen, walk on my left side and use my body as a cover."

Tianxue whispered to her:

"Don't let them see your face... and take this."

Then he handed her an anti-wolf alarm.

This world also has anti-wolf alarms specifically for women. Once activated, the sound can be heard far away at night.

This was also her last means of self-defense, but protecting her girlfriend was more important today, so she gave it to Masaki Tsurugi.

The two of them walked, one on the left and one on the right, and arrived at the entrance of the community under the light of the street lights.

"Ok?"

Because this place is quite remote and it is now completely dark, there are almost no pedestrians on the road.

The thugs in front of the supermarket soon spotted them and all turned their eyes over here.

"Such an ugly girl can bring a man back..."

Seeing Tianxue's bloated and rustic outfit, a gangster sneered and puffed out a puff of smoke.

Then he grinned and said sarcastically:

"Kids these days are really hungry and don't care what they eat."

"Maybe they are siblings, hahaha..."

Another thug laughed:

"You're really nosy."

After saying that, he flicked the remaining cigarette butt towards the two of them!

Tian Xuehu stood in front of Masaki Tsurugi, stretched out his arm, and blocked the cigarette that had not yet been extinguished;

The cigarette butt collided with the sleeve, and sparks flew everywhere; a few sparks hit her windbreaker, burning small black spots on the surface.

"Hey, you bastards! What are you doing?"

At this time, a burly man walked out of the supermarket, raised his foot, and kicked the leg of the gangster who had just thrown the cigarette butt:

"Didn't I tell you not to harass the residents here? Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"

The strong man growled:

"That was a regular customer of our supermarket! Be polite to me next time you see me!"

"——Little girl, come buy something next time and I'll give you a discount!"

After warning the thugs, he turned to Tianxue and raised a hand, as if to apologize;

At the same time, he placed his other hand on the head of the thug next to him and shook it vigorously:

"You should know the phone number of our supermarket. If you encounter this kind of situation next time, just call me and I will help you teach them a lesson!"

"Hey... Boss, I know I was wrong."

The thug whose head he grabbed said awkwardly:

"Please stop shaking it. With your strength, if you shake it a few more times, you will definitely knock my head off."

"..."

Tianxue didn't say anything.

He bowed slightly to the supermarket owner as a greeting, and then pulled Masaki Tsurugi into the community.

During the whole process, the old man in the security room kept listening to the tune with his eyes closed, without even raising his eyelids once.

"Senior...you live in a place like this?"

When she said this, Masaki Tsurugi's entire face was covered by the shadow of the residential building, and her expression could not be seen at all.

"Ahaha, yeah... that's why I'm so careful when I go home every day, because I don't want anyone to see me."

Tianxue tried to get away with it by laughing it off:

"After all, it's a shameful thing..."

"No, it's not shameful at all!"

Masaki Tsurugi suddenly tightened his grip on her hand.

"So you've been living such a hard life... and I didn't even know about it!"

She grabbed Tianxue's hand and rubbed it on her face:

"If only I had been a little bolder before..."

Bold?

What's so bold?

Tianxue felt a little nervous when she heard this:

——You are still young, don’t make any mistakes!

"Actually, I already knew that the supermarket owner would help us."

In order to ease the current weird atmosphere, she pretended to explain in a relaxed manner:

"Although the products in that supermarket are not the cheapest, I still try to go there every time and buy a lot at a time;"

"Even though the price per visit is not that high, over time, I have become his big customer after all... In order to keep me as a regular customer, he will definitely try his best to ensure my safety."

The two never spoke to each other again after that.

Tianxue didn't know what to say.

And Masaki Tsurugi was standing beside her with her head lowered, as if she was thinking about something.

"Huh...Okay, don't you want to know where I live? Here!"

When they got to the house they rented, Tianxue took out the key, opened the door, and made a "please" gesture to her:

"Clang clang——Look, it's right here."

This is a typical one-bedroom apartment, where the kitchen and living room are combined, and the door next to it is the bathroom, which has dry and wet areas but no bathtub.

Opposite is a very small bedroom with a few broken pieces of furniture. The overall environment looks a bit desolate, but it is still suitable for living.

"This room is very cheap, only 800 per month, and it's a one-month deposit and one-month payment;"

Tianxue took off her camouflage coat and hat and placed them on the hanger next to her:

Then he took off his glasses and mask and continued to introduce:

"Except for the fact that the location is a little far away and the security situation is a little poor, everything else is pretty good..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden loud bang from the ceiling above his head, as if something had hit the floor.

The sound was not small, enough to scare someone who was not mentally prepared.

Then, a faint shouting and cursing sound came from the wall next to him, as if someone was shouting, "Fuck you so late at night! Can't you let me rest?"

Looking at the snow again, it seemed as if it had long been accustomed to it and was not disturbed at all:

"Oh... sometimes the neighbors will be a little noisy like today, but it doesn't affect anything. In fact, we are still quite harmonious with each other."

Volume 1: Chapter 22 The Secret Under the Bed

Misaki Tsurugi didn't say anything.

He looked around the small bedroom and finally sat down at the desk where Tianxue studied at night.

He gently stroked the mottled marks on the surface with his hand. After a while, he suddenly lay down on the table and sobbed softly!

"Eh? Kotori, why are you crying..."

Tianxue hurried over and held her head in his arms;

Then he stroked her hair and coaxed her for a long time, and finally, Masaki Tsurugi's sobbing gradually stopped.

"I'm sorry, Senior... I just couldn't help myself."

Misaki Tsurugi took out tissue and wiped her tears, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"When I think about how my senior usually lives in a place like this, I..."

"Oh, you sound like I'm pathetic."

Tianxue let her go and said with a casual smile:

"——Don't you understand? Unlike you, I live alone."

After saying that, she spread her hands in the bedroom, turned around lightly, and said mischievously:

"Many of my classmates want to live on their own but can't... In this respect, am I super lucky?"
